Lets set this straight. I am not fixated or only worried about Bougie size. In fact I just found out there were different sizes! I had already been approved and a date set before I knew.. The question came from pure curiosity! But thanks for that'!

Just do your squats your booty will be fine!

Just an update to my locals! I was approved!

I was APPROVED!!

My surgery was denied two months ago for not enough pre required visits, my insurance originally told us I only needed 4, 1 each month they denied within 3 days stating to my WLS office I needed 6 months of visits, I finished and they resubmitted yesterday! I called my ins today it is being reviewed and they said it can take up to 10 days, not to bad. But I'm so hoping they don't find or try something else stupid saying I need to do or I'm not qualified etc! I want to be revised from band to sleeve I'm so done with being overweight!!

Well I've already waited the 6 months and done the appointments! I'm following the doctors offices insurance coordinators instructions even tho the process seems flakey. However, It wasn't communicated right the first time after 3 months we submitted after the 4th appointment and when I heard I needed two more appointments for 2 months I was CRUSHED! But I gotta do it! I'm so sick of being in this body tho! Even if I get approval I have to wait till June 10th for surgery, earliest opening because they have to do it at a blue distinction center (which is the actual hospital) and not the surgeons hospital where I was banded, I loved it there tho! But they only do surgeries at the hospital ever other Monday and Memorial Day is in there and the other two Mondays are booked! So, ugh for waiting!

We werent sure either! I'm still unsure just going with the flow!! Thanks for the good lucks! I'm hoping by Wednesday to hear something, I will be calling! :-)

I will be revision no issues with band just doesn't work

I have bcbs of mn and mine was submitted yesterday! I hope it works, I was denied within 3 days last time because of miss info from ins to doc they said I needed 3-4 pre op req visits I actually needed 6 for the sleeve, so I'm done now and should be no fight but ins is ins so who knows! They have 10 days or so he said to approve or deny. I'm a revision and on the books for June 10 pending approval!

I FINALLY got a call back and all my paperwork was submitted on Monday night. Please send positive thoughts! I'm really hoping for this and if so maybe I will start a YouTube about my journey!? Who knows?!

Sounds awesome guys! We should start some support groups!

Nice! I go to NWWLS in Everett!

Where at? South of Seattle?

Also aiming for April 15!

And I feel like I'm trying not to hyperventilate! Ugh! I have low apnea however because I have it I must use the cpap as all of you know! Only thru the surgery date! So I went with renting a brand new one! It's super nice and silent but I still have a huge thing on my face that my kitten thinks he needs to get! Hah! Ugh, wish me luck thru my first night!

Yes! I will be revision! Ugh. How much have you lot sense surgery?

I totally understand, I had my sleep study while completing all my required things so I'm lucky it isn't effecting my date! Considering I am a band to sleeve revision I'm ready!!

Nope I'm scheduled for April 15th pending ins approval. But just going thru the motions. Ugh!

She also said to try and stay pre occupied for about 30-45 mins to adjust before wanting to actually fall asleep! So I'm playing on this and my phone! It will take an additional 45-60 mins for me to fall asleep after doing nothing! Lol.

I will be going to NWWLS where I had my band. Dr is dr Chock! She's great! How are you feeling! Can I ask your stats?

On the books for April 15th, pending insurance approval which is being submitted tomorrow! Eek! I'm in Washington state too!! Near Seattle!!

Who all were able to get the band to sleeve in one procedure? How many had to do two procedures? And if it was two, how long was the wait time for you?
